With just days until the start of the spring 2013 semester, are you ready for the new Blackboard? If not, IIT Online has resources available! Find how-to videos and .pdfs atthe Blackboard at IIT site. Faculty workshops will also take place every afternoon for the rest of this week. See the training section or calendar for additional details or to sign up.

Beginning in December, IIT Online will offer three new faculty workshops in addition to the general orientation session for Blackboard. These are hands-on workshops to introduce and support faculty in building courses.

Only five days and counting! Thanks to the OTS Blackboard team, spring 2013 courses will be loaded into the new version of Blackboard and made available to faculty on Monday, November 5, instead of later in November.

There are only 98 days before Blackboard 9.1 is the live system for students and the Digital Dropbox disappears! Where did it go? File submission is now incorporated into the creation of specific assignments.
